That's fine - I realised as much, which is why I forked it in the end. I felt it was best. Seems to be working fine for me. Also fixed an issue that Feed Publisher had where BBCode wasn't processed on the ATOM feeds too!

I'm having a few strange problems with the default install. My "All Discussion Feeds" link serves up feeds in reverse chronological order, beginning with the first post ever on my forum in 2006. Also, when I subscribe to a specific "Discussion Feed" I seem to be getting feeds from various discussions, not limited only to the discussion for which I'm subscribing. Any ideas why this could be happening? I've uninstalled and reinstalled several times.

I have a reasonably large forum that has been running for about two years now. The extension is currently running on the forum at http://www.micsem.org/forum/. Any suggestions would be most appreciated.

I had problems when leaving $ft_conf[ 'EXIT_AFTER_FEED' ] = true;the browser returned an XML parser error like thiswhich disappeared turning it to false.

anyway, great addon!thanks!

btw, I can add my feeds to google reader.

[edit] however the feed is not being updated when I post new comments i don't know much about rss syndication, but does it have any refresh rate or whatever?thanks[edit2] the new comment arrived to the rss reader few minutes later.[edit 3] the update manager points out that there is an error with the version number (v 1.00 in the add-ons site, v 1.0.0 in the extension's default.php)

Ok chaps - this should fix all the issues above. The only one I couldn't isolate was:

"Also, when I subscribe to a specific "Discussion Feed" I seem to be getting feeds from various discussions"

This could be something to do with the URLs being built wrong or even the order making it seem that way. But the other thing it could be - is I've just been trying this in Google Reader and it doesn't seem to want to take the overly long and complex urls. I think GR expects more /myrssfeed.xml or something. If you're only running one RSS Feed, you can easily do this with a PHP include and forcing the .xml file to be pre-processed.

Anyways - I've tested this on my sites and seems to be ok - let me know if it fixes everything.

I'm having some problems with this plugin. The RSS and ATOM feeds generated by it only works in Opera RSS. I also tried Evolution (Linux e-mail client), Thunderbird (2.0.0.18 on Linux) and the basic feed reader in Wordpress 2.7(I wanted to connect the forum feed with my blog) and it just doesn't work.

So I tried http://www.michaelpshipley.com/demos/feed-analyzer/ and the only thing it gave me was this

I figured out why it wasn't working. It worked in Opera because I was logged in, a in Thunderbird, Evolution etc I wasn't (quite logical) and I turned off the posibility for unauthorised user to view my forum.

Now the RSS is working, but all topics are visible, which not to good (it's something like an inside forum just for few people to see).

That's very odd. I wonder if this is an incompatibility with another extension. If you have the option - try turning off every extension except FeedThis, and see if it works then? And which version of Vanilla?

Hi. I've been looking for a solution to provide RSS feeds for my forum which I run for a small group of friends and thus I keep everything requiring authentication. This plugin is great because it lets me provide RSS feeds using http authentication rather than requiring that the RSS reader somehow log into the forum.

That being said, I can't seem to get it to work with Google reader. I know that Google reader doesn't support authentication-required feeds of any kind, so I tried to use http://freemyfeed.com/ to provide a pre-authenticated version of the URL.

For whatever reason, when I do that I only get the title of the feed, with none of the posts. The same happens when I use curl (at the command line to get the feed), I get the page through the tag, but then nothing more.

When I load the same URL into Safari, Firefox or Vienna it seems to work fine.
